ID 160 - Health and Disease in Developing World

What are the challenges to promoting and maintaining health in the developing world? Are health problems in developing countries mainly economic, cultural, political, or medical? This course will employ anthropological perspectives on health and international development to explore contemporary issues in global health policy and health-care delivery in the developing world. By examining the global economic and political context of health, students will analyze the role that economic development plays in promoting or undermining health in various setting. Students will examine key health challenges such as infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, malnutrition and hunger, and reproductive health. The course will address how health is an issue of development, equity, and human rights, and how populations in the developing world are attempting to cope with disease.
